We characterize when a coherent state or continuous frame for a Hilbert space may be sampled to obtain a frame, which solves the discretization problem for continuous frames. In particular, we prove that every bounded continuous frame for a…
We study the Dirichlet problem on a bounded convex domain of $\mathbb R^N$, with zero boundary data, for truncated Laplacians ${\mathcal P}_k^\pm$, with $k<N$. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition (Theorem 1) in terms of the…
Dirac's classical theorem asserts that, for $n \ge 3$, any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $n/2$ is Hamiltonian. Furthermore, if we additionally assume that such graphs are regular, then, by the breakthrough work of Csaba,…

Relaxation properties (specifically time-rates) of the Smoluchowski diffusion process on a line, in a confining potential $ U(x) \sim x^m$, $m=2n \geq 2$, can be spectrally quantified by means of the affiliated Schr\"{o}dinger semigroup…
We investigate how the Hausdorff dimension and measure of a self-similar set $K\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d}$ behave under linear images. This depends on the nature of the group $\mathcal{T}$ generated by the orthogonal parts of the defining maps…
We study some classes of symmetric operators for the discrete series representations of the quantum algebra U_q(su_{1,1}), which may serve as Hamiltonians of various physical systems. The problem of diagonalization of these operators…

In this work we investigate the quantum dynamics of an electric dipole in a $(2+1)$-dimensional conical spacetime. For specific conditions, the Schr\"odinger equation is solved and bound states are found with the energy spectrum and…
We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for lattice Schr\"{o}dinger operators to have a zero energy bound state in arbitrary dimension. The two criteria are sharp, complementary, and depend crucially on both the dimension and…
